European car safety researchers have developed a camera-based system that watches your facial expressions while you drive, and then uses highly accurate emotion detection algorithms to work out when you’re suffering from road rage. The idea behind this system is that, when you’re irritated or angry, you become a more aggressive driver and less attentive — leading to more accidents. The same technology can also be used to measure tiredness and fatigue, by measuring the percentage of your eyelid closure, and then warning you to take a break before you fall asleep at the wheel.

Auto manufacturer Peugot Citroen has teamed up with Bosch to create a hybrid car that uses hydraulics to capture and transfer energy. For city driving it is estimated that the car will be able to generate 80% of its required energy from regenerative braking. It will also get over 80 miles per gallon while emitting 69 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer. Though not due out till 2016, releases by Peugeot have just given us a look under the hood.
